Caromount Wins Two High Safety Honors The employees of the Caro mount Division can be doubly proud of the two safety honors which they have just achieved. First of all they have worked safely more than 1,000,000 man hours since the last lost-time ac cident which occurred in October of last year. This is a record which we have come close to but never quite reached before. The record is also one that is not easily reached by a plant as large as the Caromount Division. The second honor was attained by working 12 consecutive months from October, 1951 to October, 19.52 without a lost time or disabling injury. The most important thing about these re cords is the fact that no em ployee has suffered the pain of a .serious injury nor has his fam ily had to suffer the loss in pay which results from an injury. Also of importance is the bettei' morale and increased efficiency which results in a plant where accidents are few and far, be tween. It is important to note that this record was made in spite of the fact that it was necessary (Turn to Page Three) Contest Winners See World Series Game Mrs. Julia Sutton of the Wil son Division was one of the win ners in the “What’s lu A Name Contest” sponsored by the Com paq Slie w-'m two vV’iuid Series tickt Is with all (Xyemes paid to New \ oi'k fc'i- iwo. “Tiny” Sut ton accompanied Mrs. Sutton as her guest to New York, The name submitted by Mrs. Sutton was selected as winner from all the entries from the Caromo'.mt and Wilson Divisioi s Bobby Davis was winner for the name iie .sui.mitteJ for the Company’s lur Jabrics and weui on this trip to New YOik with World Series tuKets and expenses paid for two also.
